Tang San and Titan, covered in dust from their journey, finally returned to Heaven Dou City.
At this moment, Tang San was eager to get back, extremely worried about Xiao Wu's safety.
But just as the two of them arrived at the gates of Heaven Dou City, the entire city was already under martial law. Various terrifying auras emanated from within Heaven Dou City, even giving off whiffs of blood, as if a major battle was underway.
Tang San and Titan exchanged glances. "This is bad, something has happened in Heaven Dou City."
Titan completely ignored the guards in front of them, grabbed Tang San's hand, and with all his might, leaped. He actually jumped directly over the city wall and into Heaven Dou City.
However, the situation in Heaven Dou City at this moment was shocking to the two of them. The entire city seemed like a battlefield, filled with fighting everywhere. In particular, large fires had broken out in multiple places, making the scene look incredibly tragic.
Tang San was greatly alarmed. "It seems something has happened at Shrek Academy. Perhaps this large-scale conflict in Heaven Dou City is to capture Xiao Wu. We need to hurry and help."
Without a word, Titan and Tang San quickly headed towards Shrek Academy.
Unfortunately, when they arrived at Shrek Academy, the entire academy was in a terrible state. The entire academy had been completely overrun, and only countless people were surrounding and attacking Zhao Wuji.
It was a pity that Zhao Wuji's strength was too formidable. Not only was he a peak Soul Douluo, but his strength and defense were also extremely outstanding. If it weren't for Shrek Academy, he probably would have broken through and escaped long ago.
Tang San quickly shouted, "Teacher Zhao, where are Xiao Wu and my teacher?"
Zhao Wuji said, "Just now, a terrifying aura erupted from the backyard. Flander and Yu Xiaogang have all gone to the backyard to help."
Now that there was no need to protect Shrek Academy, Zhao Wuji had no choice but to follow Tang San and Titan to the backyard.
Unfortunately, apart from traces of fighting in the backyard, there was no sign of Xiao Wu, nor any sign of Yu Xiaogang and the other two.
However, they quickly found someone who had been nearby just now. This person seemed to have been directly knocked unconscious by the aura of a Titled Douluo's battle.
Through this person's description, the three of Tang San basically confirmed that Xiao Wu had been captured by a Titled Douluo, and Yu Xiaogang and the other two had gone in pursuit.
Zhao Wuji quickly spoke, "Since a Titled Douluo has made a move, then Boss Flander and the others must be in great danger. We also need to hurry and help as soon as possible."
Tang San carefully observed the surrounding environment and quickly spoke based on the situation at the scene. "Looking at their tracks, they should have gone towards the imperial palace. Moreover, this time it was the Heaven Dou Imperial Family that launched a fierce attack on Shrek Academy. I'm afraid this matter is related to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
The three of them didn't dwell on it too much and went directly to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace together.
However, when they arrived at the outer perimeter of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Flander and Yu Xiaogang seemed to be communicating with the palace guards. The three of them looked unusually anxious.
Tang San quickly walked towards Yu Xiaogang. "Teacher, why don't I see Xiao Wu? How is Xiao Wu?"
A trace of bitterness appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face. "Little San, Xiao Wu has been captured. We followed the trail, and that person should have entered the imperial palace."
Tang San's face instantly showed great anger. "What does the Heaven Dou Imperial Family think they are doing? They are so shameless, they actually dare to send people to capture Xiao Wu."
A palace guard shouted loudly, "How dare you! Who exactly are you people? You actually dare to slander the Heaven Dou Imperial Family."
Tang San's face was a little contorted. "I don't care about the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and I don't care who is behind you. Anyone who dares to harm Xiao Wu, I will make them die."
Countless Blue Silver Grass instantly appeared on Tang San's body, quickly wrapping around the surrounding guards, as if to tear these people into pieces.
"If you don't want to die, speak quickly! Where exactly is Xiao Wu?"
The powerful tearing force of the Blue Silver Grass seemed to want to tear this guard apart, especially since the Blue Silver Grass had deadly poison, instantly causing this guard's entire body to be paralyzed, and the deadly poison even caused extreme pain.
Only then did the guard speak tremblingly, "I don't know either, I only saw a black figure enter the imperial palace."
Tang San roared angrily, "Since the Heaven Dou Empire dares to harm Xiao Wu, I will make you pay the price."
Countless Blue Silver Grass instantly tore the guard to shreds, while Tang San quickly rushed towards the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Both Yu Xiaogang and Titan were a little surprised by Tang San's actions at this moment. One must know that if he recklessly attacked the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, it would likely be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Heaven Dou Empire in the future.
However, the situation was indeed critical now, especially seeing Tang San's appearance. If he couldn't rescue Xiao Wu, Tang San would likely fall into madness.
The few of them quickly summoned their Martial Souls, intending to force their way into the palace.
Although the palace defenses were strict, and the palace walls were very thick.
But for Titan and the others, it wasn't too much trouble.
Especially Flander, who instantly transformed into a giant Four-Eyed Cat Owl, using his soul power to carry Tang San and the others directly over the palace walls, quickly arriving inside the palace.
After Tang San and the others arrived at the palace square, their eyes instantly turned red with rage.
At this moment, Xiao Wu was restrained by multiple people, her entire body bound by special iron chains, and even her soul power was completely suppressed, looking completely at the mercy of others.
Xue Qinghe roared angrily, "Audacious Tang San, how dare you trespass into the imperial palace? This is a blatant disregard for my Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Kill him without mercy."
Tang San's eyes were filled with fury, "This is too much! Even if you are the Crown Prince, how dare you treat Xiao Wu like this? I will make you pay the price."
Just as Tang San was enraged, two figures appeared beside Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. One was thin, and the other was a tall woman.
These two were Ghost Leopard Douluo and Kite Falcon Douluo, also experts arranged by Spirit Hall to protect Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
Ghost Leopard Douluo shouted loudly, "How dare a few ants trespass into the imperial palace and disrespect His Highness the Crown Prince? Kill them!"
Tang San was full of anger, but just as he was about to attack, Yu Xiaogang quickly stopped him.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Ghost Leopard Douluo and Kite Falcon Douluo with a serious expression, "The Heaven Dou Imperial Family doesn't have that many Titled Douluo. Although I don't recognize you, you definitely come from Spirit Hall."
"Especially this woman, if I'm not mistaken, it was you who led the attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect back then. I never expected that the dignified Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would collude with Spirit Hall. Aren't you afraid of the Emperor Xue Ye?"
Xue Qinghe showed a strange smile on his face, "What you said is just speculation. These two are my subordinates. If you dare to trespass into the imperial palace, you are criminals of my Heaven Dou Empire. Today, all of you will die."
Ghost Leopard Douluo and Kite Falcon Douluo's soul power flickered, instantly transforming into a giant Nether Ghost Leopard and a Flame Eagle. At the same time, they both displayed nine Soul Rings, two yellow, two purple, and five black.
And countless guards around them also began to surround and attack Tang San and his group, also appearing to have considerable strength.
Titan and the others roared angrily, and quickly summoned their Martial Souls and Soul Rings.
However, there were two Titled Douluo on the opposite side, while Tang San and his group didn't even have one Titled Douluo. The strength gap was enormous.
Yu Xiaogang and the other two quickly used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, wanting to block Kite Falcon Douluo's attack.
Titan and Zhao Wuji exchanged glances. Both summoned their Martial Souls and Soul Rings, instantly transforming into a giant Great Strength Gorilla and a Vajra Bear, wanting to desperately fight against Ghost Leopard Douluo.
The scene instantly became a fierce battle, and ordinary Soul Masters couldn't even get close.
The giant Golden Holy Dragon and the Flame Eagle were entangled in battle, especially the giant Golden Holy Dragon spitting golden light, fighting evenly with Kite Falcon Douluo's flames.
Although Zhao Wuji and Titan used all their strength, they were still suppressed by Ghost Leopard Douluo.
And Tang San transformed into a ghost shadow, directly rushing towards Xiao Wu, especially with countless Blue Silver Grass appearing around Tang San, as if they wanted to devour the people around him.
But at this moment, Xue Qinghe appeared directly beside Xiao Wu, his eyes seemingly filled with disdain.
Tang San summoned the Blue Silver Grass and unleashed a full-strength attack. All the Blue Silver Grass seemed like a giant formation, possessing infinite devouring ability.
But Xue Qinghe wasn't afraid at all. He simply pushed out a palm slightly, and it seemed as though this strike emitted endless golden energy. The Blue Silver Grass around Tang San was instantly shattered, and even Tang San himself was sent flying.
At this moment, Tang San was also completely bewildered. He couldn't believe that Xue Qinghe was so strong, capable of sending him flying without even using his Martial Soul.
Tang San gritted his teeth, and a black Clear Sky Hammer instantly appeared in his hand. He used all his strength to smash it towards Xue Qinghe.
But Xue Qinghe remained completely calm and composed. He simply pointed a finger, and it directly struck Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer. Tang San, along with the Clear Sky Hammer, was sent flying.
Tang San instantly understood that the Xue Qinghe before him was countless times stronger than he had imagined. He couldn't believe that Xue Qinghe had hidden his strength so deeply; he was simply no match for him.
Tang San roared, "Who exactly are you? You are definitely not Xue Qinghe. Xue Qinghe isn't that powerful."
Xue Qinghe snorted coldly, "Tang San, actually, I've wanted to find you for a long time. There are some old grudges that need to be settled today."
A hint of confusion appeared in Tang San's eyes. "We've never had any dealings. Why are you looking for me?"
Xue Qinghe said, "I'm not really looking for you, but rather Tang Hao behind you. I have a blood debt to settle with Tang Hao."
"However, since Tang Hao hasn't shown up, I'll kill his son first as a small interest payment."
Xue Qinghe's speed was incredibly fast, and he struck Tang San with a swift blow. This strike looked ordinary, but it possessed infinite power.
Tang San gripped the Clear Sky Hammer and resisted with all his might, but he was still sent flying. Even using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, his speed was still insufficient compared to Xue Qinghe.
At this moment, Tang San's eyes were about to split open with rage. He had never been defeated so miserably by someone his age.
Tang San gritted his teeth and unleashed the full power of the Clear Sky Hammer techniques. Especially after being sent flying each time, there seemed to be some subtle connection, as if he was accumulating power.
This was Tang San's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, the strongest move Tang San could use at this stage.
But Xue Qinghe seemed not to notice Tang San's small movements, his face still appearing incredibly calm.
As Tang San's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique grew stronger with each strike, when Tang San used his final move, the entire Clear Sky Hammer transformed into a massive black dragon, rapidly pouncing towards Xue Qinghe.
But a hint of disdain appeared in Xue Qinghe's eyes. His hand actually emitted endless golden light. This golden light seemed to possess some kind of purification power, instantly colliding with the massive black dragon of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
With just one strike, Tang San was sent flying again. This time, Tang San had basically used all his strength. Not only was the Clear Sky Hammer knocked away, but a hideous wound also appeared on his abdomen, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly severely injured.
Xue Qinghe snorted coldly, "Just a mere Clear Sky Hammer. The so-called number one Tool Martial Soul in the world is nothing more than this. I think your Clear Sky Sect is just a bunch of cowards, just like your dead father, Tang Hao."
Tang San's eyes were filled with fury. "Xue Qinghe, you're courting death! I won't allow you to insult my father."
A hint of disdain appeared on Xue Qinghe's face. "Isn't it true? For so many years, Tang Hao has been hiding away, never daring to show his face in the Soul Master world. As for you, you're just Tang Hao's bastard child. I don't believe Tang Hao won't show up if you die."
Just at this moment, a giant hammer descended from the sky, seemingly aimed directly at Xue Qinghe. At the same time, an extremely domineering voice came from the sky.
"Cowardly junior, how dare you insult my Clear Sky Hammer! I'll show you what a true Clear Sky Hammer is!"
